Preparation
- Step 1
Put the potatoes with water to cover and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Do not overcook. Drain and let stand until ready to prepare. The salad should be made while the potatoes are still hot or warm.
- Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into ¼-inch thick slices. There should be about 6 cups. Put the slices in a bowl and sprinkle them with the wine.
- Step 3
Combine the vinegar, oil, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and blend. Add the potatoes and parsley. Blend well. If the salad is left to stand, stir from the bottom before serving.

Family favorite also! I use olive oil instead of peanut oil
Agree that the recipe desperately needs salt. Also more vinegar, some black pepper. Otherwise, too bland.
This is a family favorite. I've made this for years out of the 60 minute Gourmet. Would probably up it to 2 lbs of potatoes given the amount of oil and 1 1/2 tsp salf.
Definitely agree. I cut back on the oil, wine and parsley after observing the potato yield. 2 lbs. (900 g) of potatoes seems like a better ratio next time I make this. Otherwise, my wife confirms that this tastes much like her French grandmother used to make!
